Zero Escape and Ace Attorney-inspired visual novel Exogenesis has reached its funding goal. It’s also gotten the chops of Youtube stars Team Four Star for full voice-acting as well.
The game managed to secure the $30,000 in funding it needs in order to get made, and is almost to the $40,000 If it gets there the game will get ported to platforms that support Unity, including Vita, iOS and Android. At a later point, the game will be ported to Nintendo 3DS as well.
Perhaps the bigger news is that Exogenesis has secured full voice acting with the aid of Youtube stars Team Four Star. This includes Amber Lee Connors, who voiced Ginger in Dust: An Elysian Tale amongst others. While the voice actors have offered to do voices on a pay-what-you-want basis to Kwan, the devs still want to try to pay them for their time. As such, if they do scrape past the Unity stretch goal, every spare dollar is going towards paying the voice actors.
 
For those just joining us, Exogenesis is an adventure/visual novel hybrid which stars players as Yudai Sayashi in a post-apocalyptic setting. Yudai’s got a job to do—return his dead sister Miho to life by finding the mythical Noah’s Ark. Before he gets to that though he’ll need to reassemble his team, which seems to mean gathering evidence to coerce them along for the ride.
If you want to back it, hurry along as it’s just about to end. Exogenesis can be backed on Kickstarter here.
